Chapter 6: My Brother?

It's a brand new day, and we all were just relaxing. I continued the book I was reading, Freya was just cuddled next to me with our son Era. Atreus, Mimir, Kratos and Darin are just chatting. As we all were doing our thing, there was a knock at the door.

D: "There's someone at the door."

I didn't look up from my book.

E: "Could one of you get that?'

A: "I'll get it."

Kratos followed behind him just in case. He opened the door and some guy was standing there.

A: "Uh, hi?"

The guy looked up.

?: "Oh, uh, hello. I'm looking for an Ethan Tide."

K: "Who are you and what is your purpose for looking for him?"

Damien(Da): "My name is Damien. I've been looking for Ethan, for years."

Atreus opened the door wider, as I pulled down my book and froze as I saw him.

M: "Ethan, you alright brother?"

E: "I- I was never told about you. But for some reason, I knew existed."

Everyone looked at me.

M: "What do you mean?"

E: "This is my brother, Damien."

Atreus let him in, I put the book down and walked over to him.

Da: "You don't know how long I've been searching."

E: "I could guess how long. Was here anything they told you that not to know fo you existence?"

Da: "In his words. "If you ever ruin him, I will make sure you feel his exact pain!" Or something along the line."

E: "Ironic when he was the one who almost killed me.x

Da: "What?"

I pull off my shirt.

Da: "oh."

E: "Yeap, was a bucket of Molten Titanium."

Da: "fuckin hell."

We shook hands.

E: "Good to see you Damien."

Da: "You as well Ethan."

I put my shirt back on and he joined us by the couches.

M: "Damien Tide. I ain't heard your name for a long time."

Da: "Mimir?"

M: "Long story short, I did some bad stuff, got binded with a tree, had Kratos of chop my head off, and Freya brought me back to light. I've been a hanging head for a long time."

Da: "Wow. I'm sorry to here."

M: "Eh, not really much I can do now."

As I sat back down and Freya sat down with me.

Da: "So, how long have you been in Vanaheim?"

E: "All my life."

Da: "oh."

M: "He is the official mayor of Nornir."

Da: "Huh, how'd you manage that?"

E: "After my years of being away, and trying to fix myself. Entity became the most respected demon across the realms, and I not only became the most respected man, but became the mayor of Nornir, and the rest has been pretty balanced every since."

Da: "Wow. Never thought you'd be the mayor here, even with everything that happened."

E: "It still surprises me to this day."

Da: "I see."

He sat down in the chair near the couch.

M: "So what brings you here, other than you trying to find Ethan?"

Da: "I, may have heard about, the possible war on the way."

E: "I guess word travels fast."

Da: "Is it true?"

M: "Unfortunately."

E: "There's possibly a war between the layers on the way. There was some conflict between the siblings Cami, current ruler of heaven and Neville, current ruler of hell."

Da: "Huh. Well. That's not good."

E: "Yea. We went around some of the realms to find ancient relics to create a weapon that may stop this war if it ever would happen."

Da: "Your not curtain?"

M: "It a sword called the Zulfiqar which is the sword of the cosmos."

I grabbed the paper and book and showed him.

Da: "Intriguing, and you don't know what is does?"

E: "All I know is that it can only be used by those with terrible pasts. So as of right now, only me and Kratos are worthy enough."

Da: "Can I hold on to the book?"

E: "No. I has to be here because I am not allowed to trust others with it."

I grabbed the book and paper, then put it back.

Da: "You can trust me."

E: "Can I?
I haven't seen nor heard of you in years, and you show up around when we are almost finished with this weapon? Not to perfect timing mate."

I stood up and walked over to Darins table.

Da: "Oh, don't be like that. I'm your brother."

I snapped.

E: "MY BROTHER DIED BY MY FATHERS HANDS, THAT BASTARD BRINE KILLED HIM THEY DAY HE TRIED KILLING ME BUT FAILED!!"

Everyone was silent.

E: "Your not truly here, Damien. Your dead. Nornir allows those that are loved, loved ones, or died in honor or a good warrior, are able to walk these lands, even though they're dead."

He was silent.

Da: "I'm dead?"

M: "Unfortunately you are brother. Your able to walk the lands, but only as a spirit."

He was downed.
I turned around from where I was.

Da: "How did you know?"

E: "I'm the one who was able to repair this place and gave that ability to this part of the realm, only Nornir has this power, not where else in Vanaheim has it."

I looked out the window.

E: "It's getting late, I'm going to hit the hay for the day."

I went to my room and slept for the rest of the day.
